"My wife and I heard The Full Beans at a friend’s wedding and felt they would be perfect for my Oktoberfest themed 30th birthday. They did not disappoint and were arguably even better than we remember. The two sets they played went down and absolute treat, the songs they played were a brilliant take on the originals, that got everyone up dancing and singing along, there were definitely no shortage of people on the dance floor. Jake, who helped organise, was really helpful and was always quick to respond to my emails. I would happily recommend them to anyone who wants a really good knees up! Thanks again, was cracking!"

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in making our wedding on Good Friday such a great day. I'm sorry to have only spoken to you fleetingly but can safely say your sets were one of (if not the) highlights of the wedding. A complete dance floor filler and we had so many comments about how much people enjoyed your music. If you ever need any recommendations from real life couples, just give me a shout and I'd be happy to help. Many thanks and best wishes to you and the rest of the team. "

"Thank you so much for playing such an incredible set at our wedding. Everyone was blown away by the Evelyn & The Band's amazingly tight performance and fantastic eclectic setlist. The band's energy was infectious and it was the hottest dance floor we’ve ever seen - no one wanted it to end! Evelyn, the lovely lead singer, was excellent at communicating ahead of the event, answering all our questions and was very accommodating for our music choices. She also did a fantastic DJ set after the live music, which kept the dance floor flowing! I can't recommend Evelyn & The Band enough - they really made our night."

"This band made my wedding day! I could not have asked for more from them. They sussed out exactly what I wanted in a couple of emails and on the day played this at a very high standard indeed. They went out of their way to play many specific tunes I had requested. Only problem was I wanted to get rid of my guests so I could hear them undisturbed! They were also generally pleasure to have at the occasion, arriving exactly when requested and delivering exactly what was asked of them. Book this band :)"

"Hi Noel Very happy to provide another review for your new band. We booked Noel’s band for our wedding and they were fabulous! So much so, we booked them again for our 1st Anniversary party after many of our guests asked if we were having the same band back. Brilliant musicians and great singing. Had everyone dancing. Thoroughly recommend. Five stars. Janice"

Thanks Jorga! As you know, we had a real problem with the traffic getting to the venue but once we were there it was a great evening. The manager and staff at El Vino were really helpful and your colleagues were a lovely enthusiastic bunch. Consequently it was a real pleasure to perform for you and your company. We'd be delighted to do it again when a suitable occasion comes round! - Kit.

"We booked Melisma Jazz at quite short notice for a garden party to celebrate our 5th Anniversary as a business. Sarah-Jane Morris was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was flexible in piecing together a quartet that suited our needs, and the atmosphere created by Sarah-Jane and her fellow musicians on the day was superb. Thank you so much Sarah-Jane for all that you did to make our event a special one for us, and we hope to have the pleasure of working with you again at some stage."

"What can we say. Faultless, amazing, professional, exciting. From the moment we met you for coffee last year we knew all was going to be great. You were as excited as Gerald and I as we discussed Amy and Pauls ideas. Of course once we saw you and the team perform at the showcase event we were even more convinced because you could provide all the different kinds of music we were wanting for the wedding. Such a variety, each section adding another twist, each one a talking point. Sera, when you sang during the ceremony, both Gerald and I had tears in our eyes, your most beautiful voice, unforgettable, one of the highlights of the whole day for us. Please pass on our thanks to each and every one of the team, and we wish all of you well in the future. Hopefully, we will see you again sometime."

"We got married at the bandstand on Brighton beach, it was a relatively small affair of 32 guests and the guitar duo of Jason & Piers provided the perfect backdrop for the celebration. The style and level of music was ideal to keep guests listening without being intrusive. Being as we were on the bandstand, without wanting to wait for dinner and the rest, my bride and I wanted to grabbed the opportunity to have our first dance in the beautiful setting, and I must say, it was really, really beautiful (- for us at least, and we're looking forward to seeing the photos reflecting it!). Jason was super easy to deal with on the lead-up, which was a breath of fresh air in comparison to some very stressful interactions with other organisers (flowers, reception venue etc). These guys really helped toward making our day absolutely perfect and we couldn't have been happier to have hired them!"
